Thermal Fracturing of Pack Ice

Abstract

The long-term goal of this study to identify and quantify the relationships between meteorological conditions, the thermal fracturing of pack ice, and the resulting under-ice noise variations. The objective of this program was to analyze SHEBA under-ice noise, meteorological, and stress data in order to improve a model that predicts thermal cracking rates.
